Out Of The Ashes Series – Part 1: “Faith In The Shadows”
On Sunday evenings over the next 10-12 weeks, we will be studying a series from the book of Job called “Out Of The Ashes”.
In our world of beauty and brokenness, the reality of pain stirs in us a deep yearning for redemption. Our experiences of suffering as well as our times of joy prompt us to search for deeper meaning. They remind us that there is more to life than we can see. Addressing the theme of God’s goodness in the midst of profound grief, the Book of Job grapples with the big questions of life the same way we do today – through conversation and experience. Job teaches us to wrestle honestly with the reality of good and evil, carefully considering God’s purposes, while looking to the ultimate hope found in the person of Jesus Christ.
What can we learn about the meaning of suffering from the Old Testament Book of Job? This Sunday evening the 27th of August we will commence finding out. We will consider Job 1:1-5 , and introduce the book’s themes of loss, pain, faith, and redemption – all of which point to the ultimate hope found in Jesus Christ.
